216857 ÷ 76 
We want to figure out the number of times 216857 can be divided by 76.

Let's proceed to step 1:
76 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 76

Step 2:
The number 76 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 216 / 76

Going ahead to step 3:
76 goes into 216 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 152 from 216 to get 64.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 648 / 76

On to step 4:
If we divide 648 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 608 from 648, we get 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 76

Advancing to step 5:
405 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 285.0
If we take 380 away from 405, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 76

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 257 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2853.0
Subtracting 228 from 257 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2853.3
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 228 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2853.38
If we take 608 away from 620, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
120 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2853.381
Subtracting 76 from 120 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 76 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2853.3815
Subtract 380 from 440 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
76 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2853.38157
Subtract 532 from 600 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
76 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2853.381578
If we subtract 608 from 680, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2853.3815789
Subtract 684 from 720 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
76 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2853.38157894
Deduct 304 from 360 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2853.38157894 and a remainder of 5.6e-08.
